{"text":"I really don't understand why there's a fight over HOS to increase flexibility to allow distribution centers to continue to abuse my time. why am i punished for sitting there? Why aren't they fined for ******* up and wasting my life? But no......I get fined if I don't log my abuse correctly? And instead of lawmakers fixing the wasted time of drivers they want to lower the driving age to 18 to abuse my CHILDREN. Whatever. DOT is a special interest group pro big companies. There's my new person horror rant. that's not really a question. but if someone could explain to me, that would be wonderful.  ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

In a free market society this isn’t generally accepted. You always have the personal freedom to chose not to do business with them in the future. This may limit your employment options but nevertheless you have thousands of potential customers and many are easy to deal with. You can always seek a dedicated route with drop and hook only to avoid long wait times.

","text":"“government doesn’t dictate how they operate generally speaking”\n\nGovernment regulates everything, some things more than others.\n\nLook at the regulations a trucker has to abide by.\n\nGovernments get pushed in various directions by special interest groups and lobbyists. Those with the loudest voice and the deepest pockets dictate how things are run, generally speaking.\n\nAnd because of that, truckers are at the bottom of the pile.","replyToPid":263290}
